Music that is insanely complicated and takes considerable technical skill to play, that is typically ruined by growling and lyrics that sing about "death" and "satan" and similiar words to try and make the music deeper than it already, but actuals detracts from its overall quality.

a type of music that is so misunderstood, the drums is insanely hard to play b/c its so amazing, and the guitar is distorted but the solos are hard....overall it takes up alot of talent, but the lyrics ARE SO FUCKING STUPID THAT IT GIVES METAL A BAD NAME (either way i think death metal is cool)

One of the darkest forms of music. Death Metal can scare the living shit out of preppies and other yuppie cockfucks. It contains a quick sound but acts like a slow drill. Devouring your soul and making you prone to "demon head voices". Its violent nature can cause side effects unprepared by many people. Such as hysteria, blindness, suicide, becoming emo and then committing suicide, devotion to satan and then suicide, "demon head voices", possesion, violent behavior to self and others, murder, so on so on. Most people think that gothics only listen to this freak masterpeice, but ney, it is popular with many people, mostly painfuckers and pseudo satanists. To be death metal you need a deep voice and you need to be able to stand in a heap of blood.

music which is sometimes associated with the "goth" trend which is a same because it is great music. death metal has growling a earspliting vocals, fast drums and guitars. death metal seems less organized and rehearsed than normal music

Satanic dark heavy as fuck metal that is often confused witg black metal. Death metal is full of heavy riff, blast beast, growls and is fucking awesome!
